Doggy Day Care in Bryn Mawr-Skyway

“I am always comfortable leaving Luna with Tamar. Luna is so excited when she arrives. I’m very comfortable and have not used anyone else. This is my place for Luna when I need a place for her to go.”

“We're in need of new daycare and Jenny took great care of my baby. I appreciated the pictures/ updates and she could be around other small/medium dogs.”

“First visit by Lily went extremely well. Alexandria does a good job communicating. Fenced yard is a plus, and Lily was wore out which is exactly what we were looking for!”

“Patrick took our Sunny girl on a fun adventure and made sure to cater toward the nervous girl she is. She came back home tuckered out from the fun day with the pups.”

“So thankful I found them. I was nervous about dropping my pup somewhere new because I’m a helicopter mom lol but when I picked up jasper he was exhausted and happy. I could tell that he was comfortable there and the pictures made me happy and comfortable throughout the day. Jasper is currently exhausted and sleeping on my feet lol and as much as I love jasper I especially love him tired as cuddly. So thankful I found this family to support Jaspy!”

About: What truly sets me apart is my calm, steady presence and my firm but kind temperament — pets pick up on our energy, and I strive to create a safe, relaxed, and positive environment for every animal in my care. Whether I’m reassuring a nervous rescue, setting gentle boundaries for an excitable pup, or coaxing a shy kitty out for treats and snuggles, I approach every situation with patience, and warmth. I believe in treating every pet like family, learning their individual routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry companions and give them the care and attention they deserve! Since I work from home, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m able to attend to their needs as they arise and provide plenty of attention, potty breaks and walks throughout the day — not just during quick check-ins. I am available to care for your pet in my home or your home depending on the service requested. Whether in my home or yours, I will feed your pet according to their feeding schedule, provide fresh water at all times, engage in play with them and clean up after them. In my home I am able to provide a quiet, peaceful, pet-friendly environment with a large fenced in yard to run around in. Inside I love to draw the blinds and give pets a cozy spot by the window to sunbathe while watching the people, pets and wildlife pass by. It is my motto to leave a space better than you left it so while in your home I will not only follow all routines and procedures as needed but I also like to tidy up after the animals and provide photo updates to put you at ease.

“Daniel is an excellent sitter! Great communication before, during, and after my puppy Birdie's doggy daycare session, and he took great care of Birdie while I was at work. He put my mind at ease, especially since this was my first week using doggy daycare for my little puppy and it's of course so hard to be away from her for the day. But she had a great time playing with Daniel, snoozing during naptimes, and getting plenty of cuddles. We will definitely book again, thanks Daniel!”

Each pup enjoys a balance of structured and free playtime, including enrichment activities like scent work, basic training (if requested), fetch, and mental stimulation games. I also offer homemade treats, quiet rest periods with comfy elevated beds, and optional swimming during low tide (within my property, with owner approval). Dogs are welcome to bring their own beds, toys, or anything that makes them feel at home. I’m home 24/7, so pets are never left alone, and I provide 2–3 daily updates with photos and messages. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, or any special care instructions. If I’m caring for a pet in the client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I respect their space completely and make sure their pet feels safe, seen, and cared for. Each visit includes fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, light cleaning (if needed), and lots of affection. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or help with other small tasks while you’re away. No matter where I care for your pet, my goal is always the same: to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

About: Hi, I’m Judith! I have had a deep love for animals my whole life. Their care and wellbeing have always given me great joy to participate in. I treat you fur babes with the utmost care, understanding, and respect. ♥️ With over 20 years of experience in pet care, dog/cat walking, animal sitting, bird, reptile, and senior pet support, I bring deep compassion, responsibility, and joy to every pet I care for. Animals have always been at the heart of my life, from raising my own rescues to fostering for local shelters and volunteering for a Pit Bull rescue in Los Angeles for five years. I'm currently working on my children's books series and building a company around the books and characters. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. Plenty of time for all of your animals and fury friends. I have a fully fenced yard which is super secure, I have one 5 year old dog babe Star and 2 kittens Sox and Lucky who get along with everyone and dogs. We have a house with multiple floors so if your friends need space there can be total separation. Otherwise all are fur babes get along and play nice with others. In your home, I follow your house rules, take notes for detailed care instructions and follow your animals schedule. I also give all the love, cuddles, and playtime needed.❤️

About: I have been a pet owner since I was a child (cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.) and I have a certification in Animal Massage Therapy. I am patient and caring toward all furry friends! I am very comfortable with practicing obedience commands (as parents wish) and have a strong intuition for an animal's wants and needs. I am currently working part time and am home a lot. I have two dogs and a cat of my own that get all of the pets, walks, and yard time they need. Our pets are like our children, and are a priority in our day-to-day. I am adaptable to whatever the client/animal requires. At my home: the yard is fully fenced, and I live next to a city park for ample outdoor time. We have our two dogs to play with and room inside for toy/treat time. Plus lots of comfortable spaces for naps! At a client's home: I will take my cues off of the owners and the dog that is in their own space. I'm also happy to do any cleaning :)

“Tim was so good to Penny. Took her for a couple of long walks, played with her, and took great care of her. He was very communicative, sending me a few photos and a GPS tracking of where they walked for the day. Penny has been a bit skittish around some people, but she opened right up to Tim. I will absolutely be using Tim again if he will have her.”

About: Life has always meant enjoying dog relationships. Dogs visiting here at Twin Spruce Cottage are treated as if they are my own, enjoying a home setting & an attentive human. I was raised to understand dog behavior and to be comfortable around all types of dogs. Our last dog was 110 lbs of gorgeous (& alpha) Flatcoated English Retreiver. He passed at 14 with bone cancer. Now retired full time, I volunteer with dogs when I have the opportunity. I understand how to identify dog behaviors & work with them. I was a volunteer at a canine rescue program from 2001 through 2016, working both in the facility and fostering dogs who were waiting placement. I am capable of handling all sizes of dogs & willing to adjust to the individual needs of any dog. I have a dog friendly yard and do walks each day to keep them busy. There are comfy, upholstered large dog beds to lounge on and toys for play. I also am available for dog walking near me in Skyway WA. Unfortunately, dogs which require medication be given are not accepted. I am retiree who walks daily ~ without my own dog these days. Dog walks are provided in daylight hours and are available Tuesday > Friday as arranged with owners. Other times/days by special arrangement. For daycare & boarding I have a fenced yard which is dog friendly with room to run, lots of shade trees & some artificial turf developed for dogs. When in the house no dogs on furniture or beds but comfy dog beds are waiting. Limited number of daycare openings.

“Harper had a great time with Yukako! Thanks so much!! She dog sat at Kubota Gardens and not at her home so I can't complete many of the ratings.”
